Taylor: Is it time to give up on Roy, Garrett or Marty B?

Was Jerry right to not call out Roy Williams to the media: “Here’s the deal on that: Everyone in the world is kicking Roy’s butt. Why does Jerry need to come out and kick it too? What purpose would that serve? Jerry needs him to contribute this year. The best way to do that is by building him up — not tearing him down. We haven’t had the draft or free agency or any minicamps. Let’s see how this thing plays out in the summer when they put the pads on.”

What is it going to take for Jerry Jones to dump Jason Garrett: “Garrett was terrific in 2007 and awful in 2008. He was good last year. You can’t look at the Cowboys’ offense and say it wasn’t improved, but there’s still work to be done. Garrett is a smart guy. There’s no reason to think he wouldn’t improve and continue to improve as an OC. To me, he needs to work on protections and the running game more than anything else. I concede the toss to Marion Barber was a stupid call, but I don’t normally get caught up in plays. When they work, they’re good. When they don’t, they’re bad. I look more at the overall production, which was good. Still, you can’t have four games with one touchdown or less. I’d give him a B-minus last year. No one gets fired for a B-minus.”

Is Martellus Bennett a lost cause or is there hope: “Still too early to tell. Bennett has immense potential and talent. He’s just not ready to maximize yet. Maybe one day, he’ll wake up and decide to be great. It happens in everyday life all of the time. My sister, much smarter than I, bounced around doing nothing for about a decade. Then she decided at about 30 what she wanted to do. So she went back to school, finished her undergrad degree and got full rides to pursue her Master’s and PhD. Some folks just mature at different rates.”
